Set Notification and Inbox Preferences

Under the General Preferences tab, you can manage Email Preferences for various aspects of your Inbox, Moderation settings (if applicable), Connection Stream, and any custom streams you created for your account. You can also choose how often you want to receive a summary of all community activity, and whether you want to include the body of the community content in the email. Be aware that email content may not format correctly as shown in the online version. You may prefer to read content in the community instead of your email.

Note: If you change the Receive email? option to No, email will be disabled for all communication channels.

Set General Preferences

You can also set general preferences for your account.

Hidden activity rules are set by the community administrators. If there are any rules that can be set regarding hidden activity, they will be displayed here for you. If while searching you don't want the community to display your history or bookmarks, select the Don't show checkbox.

Set you preference for discussions and comments. Threaded means that all discussion replies and comments are organized according to the post where the reply or comment originated, showing a hierarchy of posts in an indented style. Flat means that all posts are lined up with no indentation, and all replies and comments are numbered according to their post order.

You can also set your preferred language, date formatting, time zone, and whether you want to enable a high-contrast color scheme.

I would like to send Release Notes to our local institution's Canvas support team e-mail address. I can't configure my account to this address - I believe it is resetting automatically to my SSO e-mail. Can anyone help?

Pauline, as far as I'm aware (I looked at this document - All about Release Notes) you'd need to create an account in the Community using your Institutional email address in order to follow the Release Notes.

Pauline, it's probably because you're either already logged into Canvas on your computer as you OR your computer has cashed your information for the Community. My recommendation is to (1) try clearing the cache on your computer, (2) try restarting your browser (and don't log into Canvas first - or if you do log in as the account you are trying to create), and/or (3) a different browser (Firefox or Chrome).
